Claudia Comte is an artist living and working in Basel, Switzerland. Her work is defined by her interest in the memory of materials and by a careful observation of how the hand relates to different technologies. Best known for her environmental installations, Comte's practice is guided by a distinct rule-measurement system of her own creation, wherein each artwork specifically relates to one another. Comte's minimalist approach to art making is equal parts methodical and dynamic. Like many of her works the edition series, Neon Cactus, is infused with a distinct sense of playfulness. Here, one of the artists most idiosyncratic forms glows in coloured neon.
